Impressive Jewel Tones

Jewel Tones are one of my favorite color tones to work with. These bright beautiful colors were a perfect fit with the Moroccan Suite.

Big News… time for another inspiring Artisan Blog Hop.

Today you will be inspired by a few amazing products-Moroccan Suite as well as the Thoughtful Banners Bundle.

Gathering the Colors Together

The colors in the Moroccan Designer Series Paper provided the perfect starting point to begin creating.

The color tones in the paper are fresh and instantly I think of a fall, although it’s definitely not limited to fall.

One of the colors I seem to love pairing together is Emerald Envy and Bermuda Bay. When I add a splash of color such as Delightful Dijon and Early Espresso I’m instantly in LOVE.

You will see this in both of today’s cards.

Create a Background

Using the large border image in the Moroccan Nights stamp set created a perfect background. I alternated the images by stamping a full on ink, and then immediately stamped again. This is called generation stamping.

Tricks & Tips

Add a strip of the Moroccan Designer Series Paper to add a bit of contrast to the card.

Stamp the large medallion image onto Very Vanilla cardstock, die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits, layer with Early Espresso scallop circle.

Ribbon and Enamel Dots provide the perfect embellishment for any project. Stampin’ Up! has a wide variety of coordinating colors for each of these products.

Use the Gold Wink of Stella pen to add splatter. Simply tap with your bone folder to create the splatter.

Shadow Stamping – Another Way

The last Artisan Blog Hop I shared a fun technique called Shadow stamping. This technique looks beautiful on color cardstock, but what about Very Vanilla or Whisper White.

In order to get the opposite look for this card, stamp the Medallion using Bermuda Bay ink onto the Very Vanilla cardstock, then with the help of the Stamp-a-ma-jig stamp over the same image using Whisper White craft ink.

Note how this created a softer tone of the Bermuda Bay ink and a unique look.

More Tips & Tricks

Tap the Gold Wink of Stella for the addition of splatter over the Medallion image. Note how this pulls more of the gold (a beautiful jewel tone) tones from the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate– on sale until September 14th 11:59.

Another great use for Washi Tape is to hold your Acetate in place on your project.

Most noteworthy for this card is adding the perfect accent. Try die cutting two Layering Squares Framelits together to create a frame. Off set the frame to add visual interest.
